On May 8, 2021, Schroeder Law Offices supported local youth by attending the Nevada Junior Livestock Show in Reno, Nevada. Schroeder was invited by Carson City resident, Conner Simerson to bid on his broad breasted white turkey. The three-day show took place at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Event Center. The purpose of the show is to provide an opportunity for the National FFA Organization, 4-H, youth Grange, and independent youth members to exhibit their livestock projects before the public and develop skills and practices related to livestock production. These youth organizations are a popular part of Nevada’s agricultural community and often are an important
family affair for our agricultural clients.
Animals at the show included turkeys, pigs, lambs, goats, and steers. Livestock were judged for quality and breed standards. Youths also competed in showmanship events where their skills and knowledge in animal handling and rearing were judged. The show ended with the annual market auction. Youth are encouraged to contact local businesses and individuals to attend the auction and bid on their livestock. Livestock are then processed by third parties and provided to bid winners to fill their freezers.
In addition to seeing a few familiar faces in the crowd and attending the Buyer’s dinner, we won the bid for Simerson’s turkey! Schroeder Law Office staff were also able bid on other livestock and support additional local youth in their livestock rearing endeavors.
